The art scene on the island has been incredibly active recently what with the Charman Prize being awarded at the beginning of the month, the upcoming City Arts Festival which will be held in Hamilton and the Artwalk in St George's. Last week also saw the opening of Zack Marshall's first solo show in Bermuda entitled 'Early Years'. Marshall (who also had a piece in the running for the Charman Prize) is displaying his work at a pop-up gallery which is open at its Reid Street location for the month of October only. A recent graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, the exhibition is a showcase of the skills he learned and the techniques he employed during his studies, as is evidenced by the wide variety of pieces rendered in different media. Many of the works are highly symbolic and complex compositions featuring overlapping elements. Our favourites included the colourful nudes rendered in oils and monochromatic inks on paper.
